Cantankerous Style

I began this project after listening to a bunch of Indigo & Synkro's records one night - their song "Reflection" particularly spoke to me, so I started with sampling the vocal & bells. A day or two later I had the opportunity to decompress & work on the tune at a friend's ski house in Vermont. I found myself in front of the fireplace, writing & reflecting on the past few months.

Sam Lewis has many years of experience playing music under varied projects (formerly Masteck & Samsquatch as well as a member of the band Elephant with Seanote & Elefant Doc) which has brought him to play many of the best festivals & club nights across California, as well as internationally. As an integral part of the popular San Francisco Bay Area crew, Wormhole, as well as being involved with many other festival & event productions teams, he is exposed to some of the most cutting edge music on a regular basis - which is apparent in his sets. Sam Lewis’s sound blends dub vibes with deep bass & spacey atmosphere & is constantly evolving during his sets to bring you on an adventure through many different realms of dark & light. Sam Lewis is hard at work in the studio working on original & remix releases & this year will be seeing releases on the likes of Merkaba & Street Ritual. If you like futuristic & psychedelic bass music with technical percussion, melodic dub vibes & immersive musical explorations, Sam’s performances are not to be missed.

500 24bit/44.1 Wav LOOPS
70bpm-170bpm
All loops performed live by Aaron Holstein at the VibeSquaD Labs
Straight up boom-bap everything. Minimalistic beautifully sloppy drumming as deep in the pocket as possible. Heavily blunted backbeats that are ripe for chopping, flipping, scratching, and re-imagining.
Recorded live on cloth muted drums with oktava, shure, audix mics midas mixer.

Mixed with minimal processing/efx in order to allow for *you* to process/pitch/warp/change tempo/distort/effect how ever you like. These loops are intentionally not over compressed/saturated with the idea that producers can really process these loops in their own creative ways. These beats are flexible. Additionally, I included some fills, high hat loops, and percussion loops to extend the pallete.

After the release of BOOM BAP BREAKS VOL. 1 I thought about ways to improve my process and take this next volume to another level.  Prior to recording this pack I practiced playing steady, minimal beats on my drum kit for 1 hour per day for 30 consecutive days (May 4-June 4 2020). I then recorded 7 sessions of 30-50 minutes each over the next week (June 5-11, 2020).  Editing took about 20 hours (June 12-14, 2020). All of the recordings were improvised without a metronome. Harvesting 500 of the best 1,2,4, and 8 bar loops from 4 hours of drum improvisations was an epic task! I am happy with how it turned out. I feel like there are some really special breaks in this pack and I hope that producers enjoy making music with them them as much as i do...

If you like old school break beats, 90s boom-bap hip-hop, funk, uk garage, old school jungle then this pack has your name on it.
